In fact, just as I was writing this post, this came in from NHP Enews:
A recent study has shown that butyl benzyl phthalate, or BBP, a chemical found in lipstick and nail varnish may interfere with the healthy development of breast tissue. BBP is a man-made substance that accumulates in fat tissue and which is part of a group of chemicals that mimic the female hormone oestrogen. The concern has been so great that they have been banned in teething rings and babies’ dummies across Europe. The Women’s Environmental Network is campaigning to have them removed from all cosmetics on sale in Britain. NHP Enews. June 10
Even more reason to give them some support.
